Our Motorhome Tour Budget
When we set off in 2014 we really had no idea how much our motorhome road trip would cost. Of course we set ourselves a budget and we guessed around £25,000 for both us (which is very cheap) would just about cover us. To our surprise it cost us significantly less, which means we can carry on touring for longer!
